KEY WORDS • Software for control • Process control & instrumentation • Motors & motion control • Process control valves Sidebars: Control-product selection software is assisting automation users and system integrators in specifying the best of a myriad possible solutions for applications. These tools—on 3.5-in. Disks, CD-ROMs, or websites—permit vendors to help end-users, consulting engineers, and system integrators figure out what they need. Sources include product manufacturers (usually single-vendor), distributors or system integrators (selected or multiple vendors), and independent third parties. These specification tools may represent the stepping stone between the stack of product catalogs still widely in use and fully Internet-based product specification. Internet-based services can have more up-to-date information, but disk- or CD-based software, often downloaded to a hard-drive, can be faster than present modem-based network communications.

Advantages over print-based options start with onscreen searching capabilities, usually faster for finding things than all but the most dog-eared catalogs. Beyond speed, computer-based specifiers help users narrow the selection process, offering icon-based and/or menu-driven help and knowledge that users may not have, or may have forgotten. On-screen narrowing of parameters and calculations help optimize products for the intended application. Many users seek help with 'what-if scenarios' early in the process, or start from certain components and work backwards to determine a range of profiles or possibilities.

Uses include new projects and retrofits. Ka Grief Pedigree Zip here. Selection software functionality varies. Many require downloading to a hard drive, rather than operating from CDs—easier now that CD-ROM drives read at 24x. Most use Microsoft Windows, some MS DOS, or even Apple Macintosh. Many vendor-based packages decline to provide product prices because of varied and changing pricing, although at least one, from Rittal (Springfield, O.), provides current prices and order placement through a seamless website/e-mail link built into the CD (with proper hardware, of course). Version upgrades from vendors are fairly common to update product-related information, often included with the package. Vendors' sales and distributors often take the software to applications on laptops, and sometime they use it over the phone to guide calling customers through a problem in a consistent way.

Discussion below focuses on valve and motor/motion-related specification tools, but product specification software touches almost all product categories; see the sampling of 'Specification tools' below, or ask your favorite vendors if, or when, they will have specification software available. Motors, motion control Himanshu Shah, Cleveland Machine Control (Cleveland, O.) sales and marketing manager based in Pittsburgh, Pa., says MotionMaster 'users can select and identify drive mechanisms from a number of options in graphical form, connecting different elements by dragging and dropping. You can put in dimensions and properties, and it calculates intertia, automatically giving the parameters of the move required for torque, speed, and duty cycles.' The software incorporates extensive application-based knowledge, adds Mr. 'We've had positive feedback that this is way ahead of other marketplace options.' Peerbolte, vp marketing, Baldor Electric (Fort Smith, Ark.), says that in addition to the Baldor electronic catalog—which has specification performance data for over 4,000 motors and drives—Baldor offers Matched Performance Selection Software, 'for sizing motors and drives for motion control applications and defining load profiles. Icons help describe the application, then the selection tool assists in making a proper choice based on speed and torque requirements.'

Baldor also has motor energy management software called Save-Plus. Winsize from Indramat (Hoffman Estates, Ill.) was initially designed for customers with unusual applications, but since the June 1996 introduction it has broadened to with work more applications—machine tools, converting, material handling, printing, and packaging—and with more technology and complex linkages. Huss, vp for marketing, says almost all customers run their new machinery through Winsize. Although the software goes so far as to provides part numbers and pricing, users still seek human verification, he says. No fudge factors Bruce Herman, servo product marketing engineer at Mitsubishi Electric Automation (MEA, Vernon Hills, Ill.), helped write an earlier version of MSize2 motor and motion-control sizing software. He says in motion applications, 'collecting the right information is the most difficult. Software prompts you to get the right information.'
